Re: How do I add Minimote?

A few days ago I bought Vera2 box, so I'm new here.
I heard that in my firmware version (1.1.1338) Vera's scene can be triggered using buttons from MiniMote
but I could not do that. A friend with more experience also failed. Does anyone succeeded?

unless I missed something the minimote can not trigger scenes in Vera, it can, however,  be directly programmed to control lights or groups of lights, this is anhother piece of hardware awaiting a firmware update from aeon labs (where have I heard that before? sigh)

My local retailer said that in this version of software it should work, so I'm trying.
I can see a tab with options to assign scenes in MiniMote configuration that look quite reasonable but it seems not to work as expected. Vera2 is a new experience for me so I ask questions, any help is greatly appreciated.

Can anyone confirm that the new 1.17 software update for minimote adds Vera scene compatibility?

I just saw here that the version available for download is 1.11 and not 1.17...

I am so eager to try that, I am actually thinking about taking a day of just to get home and try that! I am gonna be partying all weekend if that works! I'll let you  know in 6 hours  8)

EDIT: No success since I don't have firmware 1.17

The 1.17 update does not appear to exist, as the prev poster points out 1.11 is the lastest version avail. I'm not sure if it's a typo in the wiki or if they are holding 1.17 for ransom somewhere  :P  In either case just retested mine and its no go for vera scenes, some have refered to "running scenes" with minimote meaning direct programing several devices, it works fine for that

So just that we talk about the same thing: My target is to run scenes which exist on the vera with the minimote.

I decided to still try the wiki again:

MANAGEMENT SUMMARY: No Success.

1. Downloaded and upgraded the MiniMote to 1.11
2. I reset the MiniMote as described in the Wiki
3. I then added the MiniMote to the Vera by using "Add%Remove Devices=>ZWAVE Device=>Battery operated handheld remotes (Secondary)"

The MiniMote is actually "recognized" and added with the device name "_MiniMote". In the device settings in the "Scenes" tab everything is deactivated. See Screenshot1. So I can not configure the buttons as described in the Wiki.

I also tried defining the buttons as events in the scenes they should run (Screenshot2). If Buttons are defined like this they even show up in the device _Minimote (Screenshot3).

But after all, Vera shows no reaction at all to Buttons pushed on MiniMote.  :'(

I tried using the log while restarting lua http://10.0.0.X/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP and I can only find the lines:

Code: [Select]
02 12/03/11 13:25:43.947 ZWaveJobHandler::UpdateNodes not configuring node 11 because it's not listening <0xc04>

Did anyone else try recently? Can somebody help interpreting the log? Does anyone have an idea how we could figure out if anything is sent from the MiniMote to the Vera?

I think the 1.17 version gave us all false hope :(

I just got a personal eMail from Aeon Labs pointing out that the new firmware 1.17 has  been released:
http://www.aeon-labs.com/site/products/view/3/

They asked me to share in the forum, but they did not specifically mention that it works with Vera now. Still, my question which they answered was about the Vera.

I Updated the MiniMote, then readed it as a secondary controller. I also added it according to the wiki (adding it as a normal zwave device). Window where I should be able to add still disabled (see above posts) => NO LUCK SO FAR.

EDIT: The Log now says that when restarting lua:
Code: [Select]

Can anyone help to interpret? Maybe somebody else tried with success?

Just found this:
http://en.z-wave.me/content/aeonlabs-miniremote-configuration
http://www.pepper1.net/zwavedb/device/27

How could we send those configurations using Vera? Any Idea?

The Device Options tab is where you can set up Configuration settings and Associations. Although this is the stuff Vera (presumably) does under the hood, given the very fresh wiki page (by @micasaverde) that seems to indicate this now works. Looking at your log snippet, it could be that Vera is somehow unsuccessful in configuring/setting up the remote with these settings.

Maybe we should wait for the UI5 which is supposed to be released within a few days. I guess this is a new firmware and therefore it could be that the update brings a proper implementation of that device too?

I think it should be possible now. We just have to wait for one of the zwave super gurus to help us out :)
